The city
Living in Chicago, IL
Chicago sits about 4% above the national cost-of-living average — a premium that buys sunrise runs on the 18-mile Lakefront Trail, post-shift Italian beef in Pilsen, and bedside-window views of Lake Michigan from Streeterville's hospital corridors, where Northwestern and Rush anchor a world-class medical district.
